Hello Chad,

I am not aware that we currently have any developer working on or familiar enough with that area of the source code. Also, the assertion that implementing this would be simple is audacious to say the least: Even looking only at the examples given in that paper, it is by no means a given how much of that more proportional spacing is desirable (which the author even acknowledges himself). And in real life, there are very many other factors influencing spacing.

Best, Simon

Dear all,

Would anyone be interested in implementing this (simple?) improvement to Lilypond’s horizontal spacing algorithm? The math is all here:

I wish I had the programming chops!
